Chapter 4

Chloe's POV

Alek gets off me and helps me get up. When I can finally breath normally again, I give him a really big hug.

"Umm not that I don't even joy being this close to you…, but why are you hugging me?"

"You were there when I needed somebody the most. You have been here since Amy called you back. You care about me." I say softly

Alek pulls me off of him and looks me in the eye.

"Chloe it is my job to be here and care about your safety." He says

"No, it is your job to make sure I don't get hurt by people who want to kill me and exactly you have to care about my safety. I'm saying that you didn't have to hold me while I cried either times, you didn't have to threaten Brian, and you didn't have to stay. You actually care about me, and I don't get why." I say looking at the ground

He tilts my chin up so I'm looking at him, "Chloe King you are an amazing girl who is beautiful, smart, funny, and are all around just a great person. Anybody who doesn't care about you is obviously blind."

"Alek…." I breathed softly

"Chloe, it is all true. And I care about you more then I should, but I will always be here for you. Even if it is just holding you after a dumbass breaks your heart." He says softly

My eyes start to water when I realize the true meaning behind his words.

"Oh Alek…." I start to say

"Hey, guys are you almost ready to go? Mom wants to talk to us about the rules before she leaves." Jasmine starts to open the door to say

"Umm just give us a minute Jas." I say and then I hear her walk away

"Alek, does this mean what I think it does? I ask quietly

"Chloe you have to go get ready or Jasmine and Aunt Valentina will be mad." Alek mutters

"Promise me we will finish this later then?" I say

"I wouldn't be anywhere else. We can talk about it tonight. Now go get ready." He says and then walks out my bedroom door

I walk around my room getting my clothes, not really paying attention. He likes me, Alek likes me. That was the reason he was always there, not because he had too but because he wanted to be. He has been here this entire time and I didn't even notice. That would explain why the whole Brian thing bugged him so much.

With all of this syncing in I started laughing really hard and jumping around my room and on my bed. I was safe with Alek, I knew he wouldn't do anything to hurt me.

"CHLOE KING GET READY!" I hear somebody yell

So I go get in the shower and do all that stuff. I walk out of my bathroom while drying my hair with a towel and I hear,

"An assassin could have been just waiting in your room to kill you and you haven't even noticed." I hear somebody say with an undeniable accent

"Haha, like you would let that happen." I say while laughing

"Come on, Jasmine and Amy already left claiming that you were taking too long, which you kind of were." Alek says

"Well I was kind of distracted while getting ready." I say while packing

"By what?"

"Oh you know, just the fact that this amazing guy might like me, but won't just tell me already."

"Oh well do I know this guy?" Alek asked thinking I was serious

"You might, he is about your height, your hair color, has an accent just like yours'." I say while smiling

The look on his face told me that he had caught on.

"Oh well I can say for him that he really does like you and thinks that you are just amazing. He is just afraid that you don't like him back."

I hadn't realized how close we had gotten until I reached out to grab his hand.

"Well I know that I like him too."
